Now, list down the factors of 3998
:1,2,1999,3998
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 373,3998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 373,3998 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 482,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/81458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 373/482,3998/169 is 1/81458
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 482,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(482,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(482,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(482,169) = ( 482 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(482,169) = 81458 / 1
LCM(482,169) = 81458
